You won't really be stressing anything, seeing as it's just two desktops. I highly doubt you'll be gaming on both monitors at the same time. It'd just be odd.

If you love tabs, perhaps think about 16gb of RAM?

thinking a slightly better power supply 650 to 750 or 4/8 gb more ram or a better board or cooler

 

No, that GS is great.  Dual GTX 970s won't use much power at all.  Realistically you could run your system with a 550W (yes dual GPUs)...

 

Measured power consumption GTX 970 2-way SLI

  1. System in IDLE = 123 Watts
  2. System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 439 Watts
  3. Difference (GPU load) = 316 Watts
  4. Add average IDLE wattage ~10 Watts
  5. Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 326 Watts

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  ($66.98 @ Newegg Canada) 
 

 

Why a single stick? You would be better with dual channel as that is what the chipset is designed for. I would suggest either 2x4GB or 2x8GB sticks.

also i read some where on here that if you download windows 10 before release date you can keep it. is it true? is it a full version?

 

You have to sync the Technical Preview with a Microsoft account and keep it active all the way through release.  I have been tempted to try on an older PC, but I got lazy.  I am not sure if the offer is still good so late in the game.
